The hope for heavenly life was not meant for humankind. God created the earth to be inhabited forever by rightoues perfect humans in paradise.
The hope for heavenly life alone arose for a select few when Jesus came to earth to give his life as a soul as a ransom for humankind in bondage to sin and death.
Now before sin, that is before the angel who came to be known as Satan the Devil lied to Adam and Eve, and got them to rebel against Jehovah's sovereignty, no creation of Jehovah was created with immortality. Not even his firstborn, known as Jesus Christ. We know he did not have immortality because he died for our sins. One who has immortality cannot die.
Jesus was given the gift of immortality as a reward for his faithfulness unto death. And so is the anointed Christian congregation raised to heavenly spirit life, the 144,000. No one else, no angel, or human will receive that reward. While it was made possible by Satan's sin. It was only an consequence, and a part of Jehovah's administering things through a kingdom government he established with Jesus as king to bring death to nothing and bring back humankind to perfection.

On the other hand, I am convinced that God CAN and WILL save all, every last one of us. Not only that, He will redeem the entire created Cosmos. Why is your view so narrow, so exclusionist? Hell is a 404.

In the context of this topic, what does it mean to be "negligent with the inheritance"? For the elucidation of the audience. This question assumes the inheritance has been acquired and is at your disposal, unless I've misunderstood.

the cause of death is sin. If Jesus died for all sins, and surely this was a sufficient sacrifice, then death is conquered. But why do people still die? Because people still sin. There are some who will not taste death though before entering into the Kingdom.
